I've had a very hard time getting some of the new figures with the softer plastic to hold there weapons properly. Specifically the retaliation SS and the amazon4 pack ninjas. Any tips to hardening the plastic up a bit?
I just keep those little clear elastic bands, wrap one around a hand/weapon = no more gravity nonsense.
You can also put a very small glob of glue on weapon handles and/or inside hands, let it dry then place weapon in hand.
Buy a Vintage Figure?

I take a hair dryer and heat up the hand, place the gun or weapon in the hand and squeeze it tight for a few seconds until it cools. Haven't found a fig it didn't work on and it really changed my mind about LowLight. That bitch couldn't hold shit until I did it.

I wonder if putting it in the freezer for a but would do anything to harden the plastic.......

i have bought over 300 vintage figures in the past 5 years and i can honestly say not 1 of them have i actually broke a thumb off of. and the only ones i have come across already broken are from the 1982 line.
i could aesily argure theat modern era figures have just as many if not more functional issues,
(cant hold guns, 2 left feet or hands vise versa)
dont stand properly
but im sure you guys already know these things, but are just in denial

Yeah, this works well. I do this when swapping web-gear.
